REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION FRONTIER REVOLVER.

REMINGTON MODEL 1875 SINGLE ACTION FRONTIER REVOLVER. SN 467. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Blue finish with 7-1/2″ bbl, full German silver front sight and 1-line left hand block letter address. Left upper forward side of frame is stamped “44” and it is mounted with very nicely figured, smooth, 2-pc walnut grips serial numbered to this revolver. Only 25-30,000 Model 1875 revolvers were produced in the period 1875-1889. The Model 1875 is very similar in appearance to the New Model Army Percussion revolver and, like its predecessor, was well-accepted and used across the American frontier. Although a few Models 1875 were purchased by the U.S. Government, large contracts were not forthcoming and although the 1875 was equally convenient to load & reload as compared to the Colt Single Action Army, they never received the wide distribution of the Colt and therefore were not a profitable line for Remington which soon discontinued production. The majority of all Models 1875 saw hard use on the frontier and are today rarely found in high orig finish. PROVENANCE: Don Ware Collection; E.J. “Ted” Bell Collection. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl & ejector housing retain 92-93% strong, glossy orig factory blue with a couple of small chemical spots on the top, with light muzzle edge wear and fine sharp edge wear. Outside radius of ejector rod housing shows moderate wear. Frame retains 65-70% orig blue, strong & bright in sheltered areas, flaked to a medium patina on rear edges and turned silver on the recoil shield & loading gate. Front & back straps and butt strap are flaked & worn to a medium patina. Hammer retains bright case colors on sides & rear edge with top edge turned dark. Cyl retains 60-70% strong orig blue with one small cleaned area and moderate edge wear. Screws retain most of their orig blue, thinned on hammer & trigger screws. Grips are sound with very light wear and overall retain most of their strong orig factory varnish. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with scattered pitting. 4-41717 JR226 (12,500-17,500)
